Connecting one pair of speakers to two amps? Is it possible?
You are in a budget range where you can have quite good sound only if you avoid all the common mistakes. Like throwing money away on things like surround sound. The last thing you can afford to do is blow your good components by connecting them to...

What is it you do?
Study after study proves the human mind capable of one thing at a time. If you are listening to music, you are listening to music. If you even start to think you're doing anything else, believe me, you are.  
How about the "not so Audiopile" systems we've had?
Ahh yes, Sears.  Awesome collection of some of the finest highest quality Fischer stereos anywhere. So top shelf they even had some with the record player separate from the receiver.

Rules of getting best audio ? maybe..
The first rule is really the only one you need. A friend at work wanted advice on this amp he wanted but thought was too expensive. I said does it sound better? He said yes. I said well what about the one you're more comfortable with the price? Do...

Power cable for REL sub -- modestly priced
@millercarbon Do you think it would make a difference to a sub to go from the mfr supplied cord which is 10 gauge to a 14 gauge cord? If not, then this is going to be one inexpensive shopping experience (for once).Well first of all if you have one... 
Power cable for REL sub -- modestly priced
Before you suggest high dollar cords, please know that I'm not a skeptic, but am tapped out for power cords. And, for what it's worth, I had a Pangea AC9 1 meter power cord which I experimented with using my REL. Made zero difference. In fact, in ... 
What cable is best?
Which cables would be better? The DH Lab Redwave with the better connectors or the better Corona DH Lab cable with the lesser quality but still decent Watgate Blue Dot gold connectors?That cable is best which sounds the best.What? You think its al... 
Suspected power fluctuations on new 20A Circuit
Why do you need regulated power? Venezuela? Zimbabwe? Have you listened to compare with/without the regulator? Because that is the only basis on which to buy anything. Otherwise you get sucked into every story, like the one about regulated power. ...

Is it fine to bunch together power wires?
You want power cables that sound good. Shielded or unshielded is irrelevant. Either way they will not sound as good bunched together. Read the post again. 
Is it fine to bunch together power wires?
Depending on your system, your cables, and your ears, you may or may not notice a lot of difference. Standard freebie rubber power cords are probably crappy enough it may be hard to hear any difference. Some quality cables may be shielded so there...
